Cignifi uses Digital Footprints to Increase Consumer Access to Credit

In the latest video in our Omidyar Network Learning Series, we explain how our investee Cignifi uses the digital footprints left behind by mobile phone usage to help consumers gain access to credit in emerging markets around the world.

Cignifi is one company helping advance a new way of lending we’re calling Big Data, Small Credit, where non-financial data, complex algorithms, and big data analytics are changing the economics of how we identify, score, and underwire credit to middle- and low-income consumers who have been historically invisible to lenders.

Dear Sirs,
Your concept is really genious. I hope the day will come to use it in the Philippines, where many people are busy, but have no chance to get a credit from a Bank. To get a credit from a Bank takes several month in case you can get one. I wish you success.
With best regards,
Rudi

The ability to listen to your users to deliver differentiated and inclusive learning is hugely important in classrooms with large and diverse student populations, particularly those where one teacher might simultaneously serve students across multiple grade levels.
